Before the Bronx Documentary Center had formal classes, neighborhood kids came to learn and gather around photography. Fifteen years later, two free October exhibitions look back at the artists, students, and images that grew from those early years. #Bronx #NewYork www.talkteav.com/bronx-docume...

Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

Five corporations control 90% of the US media. Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Target paid its CEO $21.8M last year — 794x the median Target worker's pay of $27,506. Target has also spent $13.9B on stock buybacks since 2019, while remaining among the largest employers of Medicaid and SNAP recipients in America. This is what I mean by a rigged economy.

NEW: As a former TV news reporter, producer & exec, people often ask about my recommended news sources. One suggestion: figure out who owns the local TV stations in your community. If you are watching one owned by Sinclair, change the channel to one that does fact based reporting, not MAGA PR.

Trump’s Thank You Gift to the Nation’s Worst Local TV News Owner
Sinclair uses its nearly 200 stations as a MAGA megaphone. Now it can gobble up even more stations after a recent move by Trump's FCC. That's bad news for local communities & our democracy.
